| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Variable | A letter that represents an unknown value (varies) can use any letter |
| Constant | A term without a variable; numbers |
| Coefficient | The number part of a term with variables |
| term | either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are usually separated by addition and subtraction signs. |
| like terms | two or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| algebraic expressions | it has at least one variable and one operation. |
| sum | the answer that you get from a addition proble |
| difference | The answer that you get from a subtraction problem |
| product | the answer that you get from a multiplication problem |
| quotient | The answer that you get from a division problem |
| fewer than/ less than | fewer than means to subtract while less than is reverse. |
| how much more/ left? | the word problem of a answer that you get from a subtraction |
| of | you need to have a fraction or decimal for it to work and in a multiply equation |
| each | This word means to divide whatever numbers are in the equation. |
| than | You need to reverse the order of the expression. |
| commutative property | in which numbers are added or multiplied does not not change the answer |
| Associative property | the way which numbers are grouped then added or multiplied does not change the answer. |
| Identity property addition | the sum of an addend & 0 is the same as the addend. |
| Identity property multiplication | the product of any factor & 1 is the same as the factor. |
| Additive inverse property | adding a number and its opposite will produce a com of zero |
| multiplicative inverse property | multiplying any number and its inverse (reciprocal) equals one. |
| associative property | (x +7) + 9= x + (7 + 9) |
| associative property | 4(3 X 9) = (4 X 3)9 |
| commutative property | (x + 7) + 9 = 9 + (7 + x) |
| commutative property | 5 x 6 = 6 x 5 |
| identity property of addition | X + 0 = X |
| identity property of multiplication | 6(1) = 6 |
| multiplication inverse property | 4 X 1/4 = 1 |
| additive inverse property | -5 + 5 = 0 |
| distributive property | 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12 |
| distributive property | 16 + 40 = 8(2 + 5) |
